Veeraj Haveri, Dharwad Zone captain, got the big wicket of Samit Dravid when he dismissed the double centurion in the 87th over. The Vice-President's XI declared their first innings at 372 for seven.Â
In reply, Dharwad Zone had a horrendous start as they lost three wickets in the fourth over including the prized scalp of captain Veeraj Haveri.Â
Opening batsman Utkarsh Shinde scored a half-century but his team was bundled out for 124.
Samit looked good in the second innings as well and was involved in a 156-run unbeaten stand with Pranav Abhijit Bhattad.
